      Hello,

      How do I set retropie to just play a 2 hour long video of arcade games as my screensaver? It seems to only allow me to set it to play for 1000 seconds and then it restarts the video rather than playing continually until the end of the video.

      If anyone knows a fix please let me know. Thank you.

          Problem solved. Found by editing es_settings.cfg fixed the issue.

            Could you elaborate? Please tell us exactly what you changed so others (like me) can replicate your success.

              @Thorr69 I am not OP but I imagine they just manually set a ScreenSaverSwapVideoTimeout value higher than 1000000.
